Good morning:

I am in the process of filing mt DTV application and I have run into a few roadblocks and need some help

Address: I live in a remote part of Alaska and when I put in my Post Office box address and my postal code my town is not included in the list? No what?

Professional portfolio: I own 2 businesses so I want to upload enough proof of the online business. Box 5 (professional portfolio)only allowes me to attach 1 document. How do I attach more than one or attach a file?

Hiring an agent: My first trip to Thailand during covid including the 7+7 program. I hired a agent to do my visa and it was worth it. So has anyone hired an agen?

Potential problem discovered today. Some immigration offices may ask you for proof your bank deposit came from abroad. Many people use online banks like Wise. But Wise send from their Wise London bank to a partner bank in Thailand, and then on to your bank. So your deposit's code in your Thai bank is not from abroad. Immigration can therefore make this an obstacle - that needs overcoming - to get your visa. Note: not all offices or officers ask for this apparently.

UPDATE: According to others, it seems this problem has been solved by Wise giving an option to send "funds for longstay". If, like me however, you sent the funds before this option was available, the problem remains. You will most likely have to resend the funds from abroad. My local office will not accept the Wise (funds sent) statement as proof.

Hi, I have just received an email of approval for my DTV, I thought I would have had to go to the Thai embassy to get a proper visa on my passport.

So apparently all I need to do is to print this piece of paper that they’ve emailed me, fly to Thailand and present it at immigration ?

UPDATE! Got my DTV stamp as soon as I arrived in Thailand Monday, here’s the full rundown:

Got approved from Hanoi (took 5 working days) via the E visa system. (Muay Thai soft power)

Arrived to Don Mueang International airport on Monday the lady at immigration greeted me with a smile when I told her I have the DTV visa.

Showed her it on my phone within a minute she stamped my passport and I was let in no questions asked.

Love you Thailand ❤️🇹🇭

Hello, fellow DTV holders! Has anyone completed their 90-day check-in with this visa? Could you share what the paperwork and process are like for those of us with the same visa?

I was approved for the DTV out of the Los Angeles office, on my second pass. First pass was rejected because of middle name versus middle initial on application. I applied under the remote worker category.

I just saw someone post about adding a dependent after being approved. My wife is currently on the one year renewable retirement visa. We would consider adding her as a dependent of mine. I do travel back and forth to the states often. She stays in Thailand for much longer periods of time, but the 180 day max would not be an issue as we do a lot of travel to nearby countries.

I know I can research on my own, but can anyone give feedback on the process of adding her to mine and anything we should be aware of? Thanks in advance.

Had to laugh at this DTV visa process. I got DTV in 4 days in London, no issues, I'm UK guy. Obviously I don't need a DTV as I can get do many days upon entry. The selling point to me was that my Ghanian wife could get spouse visa.

Made application in London while we are over, she gas 2 Yr type C tourist visa, paid the £300, then get told can't get DTV on a type c visa, gotta be a resident.

Visit to thai embassy in London, explained no thai embassy in Ghana. Finally they said you have to go to Abuja in Nigeria.

I asked thai embassy in Abuja about DTV, they said we are not giving DTV to African region at the moment, what a joke.

Maybe in time it will smooth itself out but I will take Thailand off the holiday schedule for the immediate future, not prepared yo travel to Nigeria, too dangerous in my eyes, plus monkeypox there.
